Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 27: A great victory and great gains

"Have mercy! Grandma, have mercy! I am willing to serve you like a slave. I am at least a foundation-building cultivator. Please spare my life! Please..."

Seeing that he could neither win the fight nor escape, and even his spirit ship was robbed, the foundation-building pirate stopped talking nonsense and even wanted to beg for mercy and his life.

"Pfft~"

Jiu Ye remained silent and responded to him with an icy cold face.

He may have gone through countless hardships to make it out of the lowest level of pirates, but from now on everything is gone.

"Each of you gets half of the storage bag, and the head is mine!"

As he said that, Jiu Ye directly put the head into his pocket. This was a head with a bounty, and it could be exchanged for a bounty in any third-level fairy city in the Thousand Star Sea.

It depends on whether Yundu Island can survive this disaster safely. If it can survive this disaster, the value of this head will increase a lot.

"Restart the defensive formation! Be on guard!"

After leaving a brief order, Master Jiu immediately went to support other regiments.

"After sealing the enemy ship, all crew members will return to the Sea Hunters to restart the formation, treat the wounded, collect the dead, and count the spoils. Once the enemy ship is aboard, we will also go support the other regiments!"

The boss's words were like a bucket of cold water poured into everyone's ears, and the joy of victory was instantly diluted by the deaths and injuries of their tribesmen.

Statistics:

In this battle, seven people were killed on the Sea Hunter, four were seriously injured or disabled, and seven were slightly injured; although the defensive formation could be restarted, it had considerable damage and needed repairs, and the hull had only minor damage, which was not serious.

Harvest the spoils:
A small pirate ship was damaged, and more than forty enemies were killed. There was a lot of property on the pirate ship. The value of the pirate ship was extremely high, which was equivalent to the total income of the Shanghai Hunter for many years.

This does not include the storage bags of the Foundation Establishment pirates and their bounty heads that Jiu Ye privately seized.

From this point of view, making money by killing and arson is much better than making money through honest production. You can plunder the accumulated fruits of others' years of labor in one go, but the risks are also great. You don't know who the hunter is until the end.

...

There were twelve enemy ships, including two medium-sized pirate ships piloted by two pirates in the late Foundation Establishment stage, which faced the Third Master's Hunter.

Six small pirate ships, manned by six pirates in the early and middle stages of the Foundation Establishment stage, were divided into two groups to confront the Wind Chaser, the Fury, and the unfortunate Hyacinth of the Foundation Establishment family.

The remaining four weakest enemy ships correspond one by one to the four smallest monster-hunting ships left in the fleet.

However, the situation on the battlefield did not develop in the direction the pirates had expected. The strength of the Yulong Islands fleet was much stronger than they had expected. The strength of the crew on each ship should not be underestimated, and each ship concealed a second-level combat capability, either human or monster.

The Third Master cooperated with the Blood-Splitting Shark to first kill an enemy warrior in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and then held back the remaining enemy warrior in the late Foundation Establishment stage, allowing the Blood Hunter to be released early to support the main battlefield.

The Eighth Master secretly lurked on the Sea Hunter and successfully launched a surprise attack, freeing up two more foundation-building personnel on the fleet. With this, the balance of victory quickly tilted towards the Yulong Immortal City fleet.

The only one in the most danger was the Wind Chaser. Baiyu, the second-level crow beast on the Wind Chaser, had been seriously injured when he went on reconnaissance, and the deputy captain of the Wind Chaser had gone to support other ships in advance, resulting in the loss of half of the upper-level combat power of the Wind Chaser.

What was even more surprising was that there were more than two ships from the other side. The second-level bald eagle in the sky was also targeting the Wind Chaser. It seemed that it really wanted to get Bai Yu's demon pill. Three of them were fighting against one and a half, and the Wind Chaser was in a state of panic and danger.

"唳~"

When the bald eagle was about to launch another sneak attack from the sky on Baiyu, who was struggling to defend herself by relying on the hull of the ship, the blood hunter, which had been lying in ambush for a long time, suddenly jumped out of the sea and bit half of the opponent's body.

The physical strength of a late-stage second-level monster is far greater than that of an early-stage second-level monster. Blood Hunter directly drags it into the seabed, and its fate is self-evident.

"Xiaobai~ah!"

The contracted spirit beast suddenly died, causing its pirate master's mind to be suddenly backfired. He lost consciousness for a moment and stood blankly in mid-air.

Unfortunately, Elder Lin Dalei, the Lord of White Feathers, was seriously injured. Outnumbered, he could barely defend himself with the help of the monster-hunting ship, but he was unable to take the opportunity to counterattack.

Puff~ A scene that surprised everyone on the three ships happened. Another Foundation Establishment pirate who was in good condition actually took the opportunity to sneak attack the owner of the bald eagle. A bloody hand emerged from his chest, ending the dispute ahead of time.

"You, why..."

The attacker said nothing, and returned to his boat with his prey in satisfaction, and even wanted to drive away both boats.

"Cough cough~"

Elder Lin Dalei wanted to leave the other side with only one boat but was unable to do so. He and Bai Yu were in very poor condition, and the boatmen suffered heavy casualties.

Just then, Master Jiu and Master Ba finally arrived.

"Chase!"

The two men looked at each other and chased after the enemy ship.

"hateful!"

The man had just opened the bag containing his prey, feeling quite pleased with his haul, when he spotted two Foundation Establishment cultivators approaching. Although he was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he didn't want to be held back by two cultivators at the third level. Who knew when that terrifying Blood-Splitting Shark would leap out of the water and deliver a vicious blow?

"Give them the boat!"

He was also decisive. Seeing that things were hopeless, he gave up the biggest trophy and only took away his own spirit ship. He believed that the other party had more important things to do and would not continue to pester him.

"Pity."

After stepping onto this complete and excellent enemy ship, Jiu Ye was very satisfied and even a little greedy.

The Eighth Master rolled his eyes at the Ninth Master.

"This guy is very strong. You and I might not be his match. It's better to let him go. There will be fewer variables."

Then the two of them decisively returned to continue supporting the next battle group.

A quarter of an hour later, everything was settled.

When the enemy arrived, there were twelve ships, twelve foundation-building pirates and a second-level eagle beast; in the end, only four ships, five foundation-building pirates and a complete corpse left.

Some of those who left were in good shape, some were in poor shape. Perhaps a life-or-death conflict would soon ensue among them. After all, pirates were people without principles or order. Although they belonged to the same Demonic Corner Territory, they each ruled their own hordes and schemed against one another. Their prey list wasn't limited to the humans of the Order side, but also included other pirates.

"All ships make every effort to treat the wounded, calculate the battle losses and results, and continue heading towards the Purple Jade Islands."

Although this battle was a great victory, this place is not too far from Yundu Island. If they encounter Jindan-stage pirates, they will be wiped out, so the fleet took the spoils and set off.

As for why they didn't go back to the Ichthyosaur Islands directly, it was because some ships were in poor condition. Some ships even had difficulty restarting their defensive formations and needed to dock for repairs. Otherwise, it would be difficult to survive until they reached the Ichthyosaur Islands, and they would likely become a breakthrough point for the enemy once the next naval battle broke out.

"The situation is not bad. No foundation-building warriors were killed."

The spiritual thoughts of the foundation-building cultivators cover a radius of thousands of feet. When the formation is not activated, a light sweep is all it takes to see the situation of the nearby ships at a glance.

Among them, the Wind Chaser suffered the heaviest casualties. Elder Lin Dalei, who was at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, specialized in earth-attributed martial arts and was good at defense, but in order to protect the injured Bai Yu, he was besieged by three combat forces and was seriously injured. Even the Wind Chaser was damaged in many places.

Bai Yu was originally injured when he went to conduct reconnaissance, and this time he was further injured while loyally protecting his master. It would be difficult for him to recover without some time/special spiritual power.

Nearly half of the fifty or so crew members on the Wind Chaser were killed under the siege of hundreds of enemies on the two enemy ships, and the remaining twenty or so were all injured, and most of them might have to retire.

However, the deputy captain of the Wind Chaser hid in advance on another small boat of the Lin family in the Yulong Islands and successfully launched a sneak attack. He killed the target quickly and captured an intact pirate ship.

Apart from these, the Hyacinth suffered the greatest casualties.
